I agree. Edmonton has a lot of talent they can use, or trade. I think there will be plenty of players who take Edmonton off of their no trade list and quite a few free agents who will be willing to go to Edmonton now

good luck with the recovery mike. love what you bring every night

Love the show and great to see Odenkirk doing good. He was one of my favorite characters in Breaking Bad, and thought he was great back in the Ben Stiller Show days. His Charles Manson sketches were hysterical.

The Kane Myers trade is a risk, but I can see how it could work. This Enroth trade just doesn't make any sense

I know that the world juniors is a great way for scouts to compare talent across the world, but how do they evaluate kids from so many different leagues outside of international competitions? Eichel, McDavid- 2 great talents, 1 from college and the other from juniors. Does Eichel get more scrutiny because he plays college which may be seen as a less competitive league or has the gap closed enough to where it's easy enough for a scout to tell where a player stands no matter where he plays? What about the Europe leagues? Love to see thoughts/opinions

Las Vegas sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Are they counting on Northerners who moved there to be fans, or tourists? Either way it doesn't seem like enough of a fan base to be successful. I can't imagine Las Vegas doing better than Florida or Phoenix. Then again the NHL probably has lots of smart people analyzing all of the scenarios for the best location and came up with Vegas for reasons that will never be fully explained. I hope this is all bs.

Arizona's are nice though I really liked their original logo

I liked Scott too. Problem was that he couldn't even look at an opposing player wrong without the refs coming down on him. Not sure if this was the case with other enforcers in the league, but it certainly made him less relevant.

Maybe he's thinking a defenseman could go first but what the Sabres need is a forward.

It seems that in order to be a model franchise like the Islanders, or the Penguins, you need to suck for a while and suck at the right time. You can't hover around being an OK franchise, but you need to come close to folding like these two models. Not sure if anyone in Buffalo is ready to be a model franchise

Any ideas as to why he wasn't drafted? Was he sought after by other teams, or did the Sabres grab him before anyone could make a move? Curious as to what other teams thought of him, or if they were even interested.

Recorded the game and had the Directv logo for 2 full periods. For some reason it made another recording of the beginning of the game for 3 minutes with full picture. Got home at start of third period which I watched live but apparently didn't miss much.

Anyone know when the trade deadline will be?

Anyone know if they'll be carrying games on directv for out of market fans?

Not sure if I dreamed this or if it actually happened, but I vaguely remember the Zamboni driver wearing a gorilla mask every Halloween. I think I was led to believe it was Korab driving it.

Not sure if it's true, but my dad told me that Chicken wings started out as Buffalo soul food and was picked up by a couple of restaurants in Buffalo. I'm really curious if anyone knows if this is true or not.

My wife read the Lonely Polygamist and loved it. I'll have to check that one out myself Right now I'm reading Jeff Shaara's The Steel Wave-a book about D-Day and the events leading up to it. So far it is an excellent read as it tells the story from the perspective of both the Axis, and Allies. I've read a couple of his books and none of them disappoint. If you're a fan of historical fiction, any of his or his father's books are worth picking up. This guy is very thorough in his research and gives both accurate, entertaining portrayals of historical events.

Best Tahous quote I've heard. Don't think it would work on a billboard but funny as hell.

My favorite place to go when I'm back in Buffalo is Santasiero's. They have an awesome pasta fasoola and probably some other dishes that are really good. I can only afford to make it to WNY once every couple of years so I stick to the dish that has always been good to me. Not sure if they're underrated or not really rated at all. I know they've been on Niagara since my dad went to Buff State 50 some years ago and we always went there before Sabre's games when I was a kid. I took my wife there a few years back who is from the SW and she got to meet Mike Robitaille, who she had only seen on TV, and his wife. He was really nice and talked to her and my mom for a few minutes.

He looked like he was having a break out season in 10-11 before his injury. I think last season may have been a recovery year and that he may have some great play ahead of him.

has a slight resemblance to Dr. Hook

Sam Adams East-West Kolsch was delicious. I bought a twelve pack of the Summer Styles variety pack and this one stood out for me. Wish I could find a pack of it without having to buy a variety pack.

I find myself singing Healthy Changes Everything-can't get the damn song out of my head-Maybe a new Sabre's theme song.

He did draft Kassian, Foligno, and Tropp and brought in Regher. It isn't what we need now, but it is good for the future. I do agree, however, that we need some tougness that will make other teams respect us right now.
